Sherrod: First extended game action since broken leg 'went well'

By Jay Sorgi. CREATED Aug 9, 2014

For the first time in a long time, Green Bay Packers tackle Derek Sherrod is playing extended amounts of football, and he says the first long game action in his road back from a devastating leg fracture "went well."

"They went very well, testing your pass blocking, run blocking abilities on somebody besides someone in a Packer helmet. Getting into those live situations, it's always a good thing to test your abilities," he told Larry McCarren in an exclusive interview with 620WTMJ and the Packers Radio Network.

The ACL injury to Don Barclay means Sherrod has an opportunity at major playing time for the first time since his broken leg in 2011.

"I want to make a lot of this season," he said. "I feel a lot better. Healthwise, strengthwise, speed. This off-season was pretty successful."
